Divine Names on the Spot
'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'
Familiennamen im mittelalterlichen Basel
Heute besitzt man normalerweise zwei Namen: einen Vor- und einen Nachnamen. Während der Vorname als Rufname nur zur Bezeichnung einer einzelnen bestimmten Person verwendet wird, dient der Nachname zur Benennung ihres engsten Verwandtschaftskreises als Familienname. Diese Namenpragmatik erscheint heute als selbstverständlich, ja vielleicht sogar als eine natürliche Ordnung. Umso erstaunlicher ist der Blick in die Vergangenheit. Die Ursprünge unserer modernen Familiennamen liegen nämlich im Mittelalter. Im 12. Jahrhundert werden Personen nördlich der Alpen meist nur mit einem Rufnamen genannt, im 15. Jahrhundert wird dem Rufnamen stets ein zweiter Name hinzugefügt. Dieser entwickelte si...
The Flood: the Akkadian Sources
The story of the primeval cataclysmic flood which wiped out all life on earth, save for one family, is found in different ancient Mesopotamian texts whence it reached the Biblical and Classical literary traditions. The present book systematically collects the earliest attestations of the myth of the Flood, namely all the cuneiform-written Akkadian sources - from the Old Babylonian to the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods, including Tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh -, presenting them in a new synoptic edition and English translation which are accompanied by a detailed philological commentary and an extensive literary discussion. The book also includes a complete glossary of the Akkadian sources.
Expletives in Existentials
"This thesis refutes the generally accepted claim within Generative Grammar that English there is an expletive (meaningless element) that is only present to satisfy a syntactic requirement. Instead it is argued that there is a proform that picks up a situation (or location) from the context. There is a part of the predication structure in existential sentences, which state about the situation that it contains an individual (or amount of a property) specified by the postverbal noun phrase. New data that are relevant for the definiteness effect are presented and it is demonstrated that we need to distinguish between two types of there-sentences: the results of a Magnitude Estimation Experiment...
